CVE-2026-92512 — RDMA/core: Fix use after free in ib_query_qp()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/core: Fix use after free in ib_query_qp() When querying a QP via the netlink flow the only synchronization mechanism for the said QP is rdma_restrack_get(), meanwhile during the QP destroy path rdma_restrack_del() is called at the end of the ib_destroy_qp_user() function which is too late, since by then the vendor specific resources for said QP would already be destroyed, and till the rdma_restrack_del() is called this QP can still be accessed, which could cause the use after free below. Fix this by moving the rdma_restrack_begin_del() to the start of the ib_destroy_qp_user(), which in turn waits for all usages of the QP to be done then removes it from the database to prevent access to it while it is being destroyed.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-92512 is "RDMA/core: Fix use after free in ib_query_qp()", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.17% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context.
